EW Series II GL Hatchback 5dr Auto 4sp 1.4i Like so many cars from the Japanese brand, the front-drive Suzuki Baleno is small, reliable, cheap to run and affordable to buy. Powered by a 68kW/130Nm 1.4-litre petrol engine with either a five-speed manual or four-speed auto transmission, it trades on its low refuelling costs (5.1L/100km for the manual-transmission base-level GL) and strong equipment list; It's fitted as standard with sat-nav and a touchscreen infotainment system that's compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Although it comes with six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS braking with brake assist and six airbags the Baleno's downside is its lack of latest-generation electronic safety aids.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
